Adding components dynamically to a Seam application

[magiccreative]

Hi,

is something like this possible. Imagine a production application (normally ear packed). I would like to add to it Seam components dynamically. The app is running. I would like to write a new component (a class annotated with @Name) and put this class in some folder for example, from this moment on I would like this class to be available for the main application as any other class that was packed with it and was exposed as a Seam component.

I found that I can easily externalize the view and simply get new xhtml templates from some service. I found out how to externalize model. But I can't find out how to dynamically load controllers. Any help is appreciated.

Greetings

A small update. I am looking @ the Jboss OSGi project. Does anyone know how to integrate an OSGi module with a seam ear application?

My research is still going on. I have hoped that someone had experience with a modular jboss seam project.

It seems that is not the case. What I am thinking is to integrate Seam with Spring and Spring with Spring DM, I am not sure however how to bring such a solution to work under Jboss As 4.2.2

If that could work I would add modules, which should be exposed as Spring beans which in turns would be available as Seam components for the Seam application.

As always any comments on the topic would be appreciated.
